Chapter 559
Night is falling, somewhere in a cave in the glacier wasteland.
Wearing a black cloak, the man sitting by the campfire rubbed his hands that were numb with cold, his eyes glanced at the opposite person who rescued himself in the snow, and one person repelled the wolf crowd. The one-armed Knight.
The other party was very silent. He didn't say why he wanted to save his life from beginning to end. He sat silently beside the campfire with his eyes closed, holding the mottled Knight sword in his arms.
A few rough animal skins under him, even blankets, quilts and beds.
Look at the location of this cave, as well as this person’s familiarity with the surrounding terrain...All signs prove that he has lived here for a long time.
I am alone, with his right arm broken;
No assistance, no supplies;
Still on the rampage of monsters, World of Ice and Snow’s Boundary Mountain... …The man asked himself, and replaced him with this situation for less than a month.
How did he do it?
No... the really strange thing should be why he wants to save himself?
Looking at the other side hesitantly, the man finally made up his mind and withdrew his eyes, opening the mouth and said awkwardly:
"Uh, that...cough cough, my name is Andrew McAfee, a mercenary in the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, you can call me Andrew!"
The other party didn’t mean to speak, he still closed his eyes and calmed his mind, making the already inexplicable atmosphere immediately change. It's even more embarrassing.
Andrew's mouth twitched, and he mustered up his courage again: "That...what's your name?"
"I don't have a name, and I don't have a title." The other party opened the mouth and said indifferently.
"..."
"I have made the oath of the'sword of oath' and dedicated myself to the Holy Cross. From then on, I have followed the path of faith by myself...name, long ago I don't remember anymore."
It turned out to be a fanatic of the church... No wonder I can survive alone in wasteland.
While in the Fortress of Duranjieshan, Andrew also met several vows Knight and the church's attendant infantry, all of whom were desperate lunatics. He didn't have the slightest affection for this group of people.
Of course, Andrew didn't have a good impression of the Holy Cross... He didn't believe in this rascal at all, otherwise he would not run to this ghost place as a mercenary.
Wait a moment, if this is the case, then he...
"You don't need to care too much about why I save you, it's just easy."
There was some magnetism in the voice, and the direct gaze of "Oath Knight" made Andrew shrink his neck. Those clear eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts, making him particularly insecure, as if he was not wearing clothes.
"Originally, I was leaving here today, but in the end I encountered a crowd of wolves on a safari, so I had to wait for two days again." The oath Knight was expressionless:
"here Not far from the Fortress of Duanjieshan, you can stay here for two more days after I leave, and you can always meet patrolling rangers-I have calculated that your people will pass by the neighborhood once in two or three days."
He whispered softly, but didn't notice that Andrew's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to open the mouth and said: "You want to leave Duanjieshan?!"
"Is there a problem?" Oath Knight frowned slightly.
"There is only one road from the glacier wasteland south to the fortress of Duanjieshan. Once apart from this is found by the checkpoint of Dujieshan, it will be executed as a fugitive on the spot!"
"I I know there is a way to bypass the checkpoint of the fortress Legion, but I have to climb the mountain." Oath Knight answered indifferently, looking up at him: "If you want to inform me, please feel free to...As long as your people can keep up with me."
"Uh? no no no...you misunderstood, I asked this not to catch you!"
Andrew, who lost one's head out of fear, waved his hand quickly and categorically denied; hesitated A little awkward scratching his head, a little hard to speak: "I, I just want to know... Can you bring another person with you when you leave?" .
"I remember...you said you were a mercenary in the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, from Connold Desalion?"
"Uh..." Andrew, awkwardly forced a smile: "It's almost...that's the case."
Then in the next second, he saw a trace of contempt in Knight's eyes:
"Desert!"
"I am not a deserter!" Andrew immediately retorted, but he surrendered in front of those eyes: "Well...I am a deserter, but that's because of me. I don’t want to give Connold Dessalion any more!"
"Do you know that Connold Dessalion is the crown prince of the empire, the next supreme emperor of Sacland? "
"I know!"
"Do you know how many people want to dedicate their loyalty to him...without a chance?"
"I know, but it's definitely not me!" Andrew coldly snorted: "I am a mercenary. It is okay to let me spend my life, but he simply wants us to die!"
"Like this kind of meeting The patrol mission that crashed into the wolves was replaced by a Legion patrol that should have at least one squad organization, but they actually left it to me, without even the most basic intelligence."
" In two months, the total number of deaths and disappearances before and after the entire mercenary group's military camp was more than one-fifth, and the number of people who violated military discipline was almost 1/4/2021. The recruits did not have such a high death rate!"
Knight frowned vows, his expression moved slightly: "If they find that you are not dead but escaped, they will send someone to arrest you."
"Don't worry, our royal prince It’s just the Prince of East Sackland. As long as you escape from the Prince’s collar, you don’t have to worry!" Andrew shrugged and shook his head:
"I can see that, Connold doesn’t really need it. The mercenaries are working for him-Legion in the north is much better than us-he just didn't want us to mess around in his territory, so he got us into this ghost place full of monsters, World of Ice and Snow... It’s no different from the former lord masters who put the executed prisoners on the battlefield."
"So...as long as you get out of East Sackland obediently, this royal prince won’t bother me with miscellaneous fish. "Satisfied laughed, Andrew summed up with joy.
Oath that Knight looked at him silently, and slightly nodded after a moment: "I can take you away, but you must promise me a few things first."
"Uh...what? "Andrew still looked a little scared of Knight's oath.
"First of all, I only agree to take you out of East Sacrament. As for where you go after leaving East Sacrament, it has nothing to do with you. You can follow me or not."
"Secondly, no matter what I do, you are not allowed to ask—and when I let you go, you must leave."
"I promise you."
Andrew without the Nodded of slightest hesitation, but still can't help but ask: "That...what are you going to do?"
"Find someone." Vow Knight calmly opened the mouth and said:
"I have been here for a long time, and only recently have I roughly confirmed that he should go to the south of the empire."
Find someone? The expression on Andrew's face remained unchanged, but his heart was extremely weird.
If you are looking for someone...Do you need to stay in a ghost place like Glacier Wasteland?
He didn't dare to continue asking, so he could only hide his confusion in his heart... The more he knew, the faster he would die. This sentence is almost well known among mercenaries.
In fact, the "Oath Knight" in front of me is weird enough.
Even the vow Knights in the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, Andrew never heard of anyone who needs to abandon his name and identity together, and must be alone.
But the opponent's strength, his unwavering commitment to the Holy Cross, and even a vow that he can even give up his name... There is no doubt that the opponent must be a knight with a firm belief.
is it possible that… is he a "sword of oath"? !
Andrew was taken aback by this idea—Holy Cross Church hasn’t had a new “sword of oath” for many years. The price of this oath is too heavy and too extreme;
The most important thing is that the church that has become a universal faith does not need to have this kind of "sword-holding" preaching priest to fight against those Evil God beliefs.
The last surviving "Sword of Oath" is Farnesis, who betrayed the church and became a running dog of Evil God in the legend of Duanjieshan Fortress. He is the most trusted one by his side...
"What's the matter?"
Vow Knight glanced at him.
"Nothing!" Andrew hurriedly smiled: "Um...we are going there?"
"The southern part of the empire, the famous wine and Knight town..." Oath Knight Lower your head, open the mouth and said softly:
"Byrne Duchy!"
